TL;DR: Water Index WI (R900/R970) was used for the estimation of plant water concentration (PWC) by ground-based, reflectance measurements as mentioned in this paper, which was measured for adult plants growing in the field throughout an annual cycle and in potted seedlings submitted to progressive desiccation.

TL;DR: In this article, a climatic series (1941 to 1994) from a Mediterranean locality of NE Spain was used to calculate two wildfire hazard indices based on daily meteorological data, as a consequence of increasing mean daily maximum temperature and decreasing minimum daily relative humidity.

TL;DR: The important drought-induced mortality observed in the study area suggests that drier climate (as predicted by climate change simulations) may endanger several P. sylvestris populations in the Mediterranean basin.

TL;DR: The results showed that the relationship between specific hydraulic conductivity (Ks) and resistance to cavitation followed a power function with exponent ≈–2, consistent with the existence of a trade-off between conductivity and security in the xylem, and also consistent with a linear relationship between vessel diameter and the size of inter-vessel pores.

TL;DR: The results show that reads of all species were recovered after PCR enrichment at the authors' control conditions and high‐throughput sequencing, and show that the four factors considered biased the final proportions of the species to some degree.
